Cajun Mushroom Loaf
Recipe courtesy Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh

Ingredients
1 stick butter
1 cup diced yellow onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 pounds sliced mushrooms
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning blend
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Special Equipment: 1 (9 by 5-inch) loaf pan

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the butter into a 4-quart pot and place over medium heat. When the butter has
melted, add the onion, garlic and thyme sprigs. Saute until translucent, about 10
minutes. Add the mushrooms to the pot, stir, and raise the heat a bit. Cook the
mixture until the liquid has cooked off, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the
heat and set aside.

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the cream, parsley
and Cajun seasoning and whisk to combine. Add the mushroom mixture 1 serving

spoonful at a time to temper the egg mixture, stirring well after each addition.
Add the breadcrumbs and stir well.

Spray the loaf pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment paper, and pour the
mixture into the pan. Set in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with water
halfway up the loaf pan. Place into the top half of the oven and bake until the
center is set, about 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 15
minutes before turning out onto a plate to slice.
